The Atlanta Braves have been a model organization since John Schuerholz joined the Braves in 1990 as the General Manager. His promotion to Braves President in 2007 accentuated his influence on the organization. Prior to the Schuerholz arrival, Atlanta Fulton County Stadium was known for bad baseball, a lousy playing field and bathrooms that smelled […]

The Atlanta Braves have had a strange off-season. The news hasn’t been dominated by the usual baseball stuff, like a big free agent signing, or a blockbuster multi-player deal. Sure Brian McCann and Tim Hudson exiting the Braves was news, but McCann leaving via free agency was expected, and although Hudson getting the deal he […]

Atlanta Braves fans, who have followed the team since the early 90s, have been disappointed often over the years. Exciting, competitive Braves teams, have seemingly turned to jelly, more times than not, in the postseason.

Conventional wisdom appears to be that the Braves won’t re-sign the 29-year old McCann. The reason most “experts” give is […]

The Atlanta Braves had a 6 + run inning for the 3rd straight night against the Rockies on Wednesday. The hot offense led the Braves to a 9-0 win, and gives them a chance to sweep the 4-game series tomorrow night. The win for the Braves was their 6th straight. Enough cannot be said about […]

The Braves got a clutch hit from Andrelton Simmons late in Saturday’s game, as they defeated the Cardinals 2-0. The Braves have cut the Cardinals lead for home field advantage in the playoffs to 4.5 games.
